We have Day 2 of 12 Days of Christmas. This project was created by Sara-Lyn Duque.
It’s a gorgeous card using the Peaceful Deer stamp set and the punch. And notice the background?? That is using the Festive Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. I really hadn’t paid much attention to this paper but isn’t it lovely.
You can find the full tutorial for this project -> HERE.

Thank You for your order.
Have a great day. See you in the next post tomorrow.
Recently I shared a card I made at the Craft Show I did. You can head back a few posts on my blog if you missed it. I was just hanging around and creating with what I had with me. It makes you think to use what you have.
Well here’s another card. It’s a simple one. Sometimes simple is good though. Especially if you have to mass produce them for a time like Christmas.
The card uses the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper and the Cottage Wreaths Bundle.
Add on a little sparkle with the Red Rhinestones and some Red Ribbon. It’s very quick to put together.
What I realised making this though is that sometimes we can get overwhelmed with “So Much Stuff”. To the point even that we don’t create anything.
So I challenge you. Just pull out some paper and some stamps and dies and a couple of inks and just create. See what you come up with.
Happy Stamping,
Jenny

We had our JEN’s INK team get together on the weekend. It was nice to be able to be back together in person. It was a small gathering this time to get us back. That’s ok though. 🙂
I put together some card kits and the crafting challenge was to create a card with the pieces.
This was the card kit. This uses the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper (host paper pack).
There was extra white card and some Silver and Gold Foil. I had a number of inkpads, Ribbon, Christmas stamp sets and dies and embossing Folders. That was it!
This was my card. I trimmed down the piece of DSP. The sentiment from the Merriest Moments stamp set was stamped and diecut with the Designer Tags Dies. And I added a diecut snowflake from the Twinkling Lights Dies.
It was a fun exercise but I tell you it was hard.
What would you create with these limited supplies?

You have probably seen the Fitting Florets Suite around now. It is all so gorgeous. I had to play with it. And I pulled out an old fold that I haven’t done in a while – A Panel Fold Card.
Here it is for you.
And it folds flat for you to post.
You can catch how to create one on the video below. (If you are receiving this blog update by email and the video is not showing, head to the blog post and view it there).
The Fitting Florets Suite will be available to order in November. The Framed Florets Bundle (Stamps and Dies) will be carried over in to the January-June Mini Catalogue but the gorgeous Fitting Florets paper and the Gold Swirl Gems won’t be so you will want to grab that early. I will tell you more about this soon.
But … You could get this earlier. As Demonstrators we can order it now. And if you have considered joining Stampin’ Up! what better way than joining now (also with the extra bonus you get this month) AND you can order it now. Because we can’t wait for these things right. 🙂

I shared in a recent post a card with the Cottage Wreaths Stamps and the Country Wreaths Dies. That was the card for visitors to make when they came along to my table at the local Doll, Bear and Craft Show. As I was sitting there I made some other cards with just what I had. This was one of them.
The paper is the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper. You can’t see the centre of the berries but I added a little sparkle with the Wink of Stella pen.
This was actually a fun card to put together. I will show you another card I made then shortly.
Happy Stamping,
Jenny

On Saturday I was at the local Doll, Bear and Craft Show. While there was a lot of doll and bear lovers I spoke to a number of crafty people. It’s always great chatting with others.
I had a card for everyone to make if they wished to join me. I thought I would share the card with you. This one is using the Cottage Wreath Stamps and Dies.
I love with the wreath stamp you get those colour variations. There was a version with Garden Green colour too. On that one we stamped the leaf on the background of the card. Also some flipped the paper over and had the lovely red print for the Garden Green base card. That looked really great too.
This Cottage Wreath Stamp Set is suitable for different occasions whether it’s Christmas, Halloween, Thanks. The Country Wreaths Dies have varying wreath dies which look great layered together.

Today’s card I’m sharing with you is one from our class 2 weeks ago. All the cards were “tree” cards.
This one was using the Trees For Sale Stamp set. While there were some cards using the dies that were available at the time this one shows how nice it can be with just the stamped images.
The sentiment piece is cut with the Picture This Dies. I think we forget to use the diecut pieces on their own.
The trees were stamped in Garden Green with Pear Pizzazz and Pool Party with Shaded Spruce.
Here’s a tip: scribble small lines under the trees for “shadow” lines. That helps ground the trees.
The Trees For Sale stamp set is available in this current Mini Catalogue.

Wednesday’s WOW! #141 – See the Lovely Layers Vellum.
You might have missed this vellum in the Annual Catalogue. You can find it on page 93 and p139.
I love using vellum on projects. It adds a subtle softness. This vellum though comes printed in various patterns. You can use them as they are directly on your projects. But did you know you can stamp on this vellum too to add that extra dimension??
Check these samples out below. Created by Stampin’ Up! artists.
On these projects below.
Left – Stamp directly on the vellum. Be careful using Classic Inks as the ink will slip on the vellum paper. Allow to dry completely too.
Centre – Layer the Vellum on coloured card. See how it changes the colour of the pattern.
Right – Use the Vellum directly to the project and layer other elements to the front.
For this project below apply colour to the back of the vellum with the Stampin’ Blends. Then swirl the colours with the Water Painter and Rubbing Alcohol. Allow to dry.
A different Look for this one. Add strips of the different vellum patterns but stamp on them first.
The Lovely Layers Vellum can be purchased individually. Also as a bundle in the Botanical Layers Bundle.
This is the bundle below. $46.25 AUD. You can also see it in store -> HERE.
In Australia and want to give this vellum a try? Head to my store at the above link. Or contact me directly and I can add it for you.
How exciting we get a day all to ourselves to celebrate this wonderful craft of Card Making.
You know what I love about making cards?
I can make something special and send it to someone to let them know I am thinking of them. I love how it makes them smile.
And I love that I can share card making with others whether it is crafting together, talking about making cards or teaching (hopefully inspiring) them.
So be sure to enjoy this day just for you. Go and Get crafting.
